DAY 14 DNR STURGEON SPEARING REPORT


Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Spearing Enthusiasts:

Two days remain in the 2018 sturgeon spearing season on the Winnebago System.  There were 23 fish harvested from Lake Winnebago today, including 1 fish that was larger than 100 pounds.  Calumet Harbor remained by far the busiest registration station, as they had 12 fish come through today.  The largest fish was 138.1 pounds, 76.0” and registered at Calumet Harbor by Zachary Rauls of Fond du Lac. 

Today’s Vignette: “How do you know how many sturgeon are in the Winnebago System? And How do you set the harvest caps?”

We are committed to service excellence.
Visit our survey at http://dnr.wi.gov/customersurvey to evaluate how I did.
